The School for Advanced Research was pleased to welcome Acoma potter Franklin Peters as the 2011 Rollin and Mary Ella King Native Artist Fellow.
Franklin noted, “I have already explored different Acoma styles in my work over the past eighteen years, but look forward to further developing my pottery by researching the sources of Acoma pottery designs from the past.”
Franklin received his pottery training from Phyllis Juanico, Florence Aragon, and his mother, Ella Peters. His work has been shown in several galleries around Albuquerque, such as the Agape Gallery, Bien Mur Indian Market Center, Nizhoni Gallery, Palms Trading, Somé Gallery, and Wiketts Gallery. His work has also been shown at the Sky City Gift Shop in Acoma.
